Ste, Mark S. & TonyM Mark says... "When referring to it in the company of adults, I tend to refer to "TW" (tee-double-you) or "TW technology".
TonyM wrote... ... I would think a word like Chameleon combined with a suitable IT related word like info-chameleon cloud-chameleon. Exactly. Using some VAGUE indeterminate, though directed looking term, does have merit in that then our thing has a unique "label" that needs filling in. Its can be motivating to find out. I believe this is better than being ABDUCTED semantically into probably not-so-relevant felt-meanings, the upfront resonance of "Wiki", in the longform (TiddlyWiki), unfortunately evokes all sorts of stuff. Its perhaps harder for some folk here to understand that "Wiki" semantically for, I think, most people, is a "codswallop" word-bucket. Since its not immediately obvious what it means the mind will fill in the semantic void with Julian Assange & Wikipedia which they are far more likely to know about. I hope I'm not coming over as too pedantic. But the "implicit implying of meaning" of Names & Logos in a world without other information is significant. In any case, I frankly can't see how much of the functionality of TW you are using everyday is anything like other extant "Wiki" systems. So part of my point was to try better articulate how it is NOT like other Wiki systems to better tease out more accurate descriptions. Accurate vagueness is, IMO, better than inaccurate false concretion. (<-- pompous sentence of the day. But in the ball-park.)
